Ernestine was a very beautiful person inside and out. Adored by her family & many friends. She was devoted to Jesus and her family, while always naturally maintaining a positive attitude & sunny disposition. An encouraging humorous joke or life-lesson quote was her trademark for every occasion or situation that would or could arise. She enjoyed playing the piano, singing, snow skiing, going to church, spending time with her many friends, family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She attended Lee College University, Cleveland, TN. In her earlier years she enjoyed working at ABAC as administrative assistant for the science & Math Department, Tifton Chamber of Commerce, State Leadership Board of Directors of the South GA AGLOW Women of Faith Fellowship, and as a Sunday School Teacher for many years. She was the really great person in the room wherever she went, because she made everyone feel great!!

I have been in San DIego, Ca for 45 years but knew her when I was younger. She was the most beautiful woman inside and out I have ever ever know. She exuded confidence, kindness, love, and a joy in her heart. She loved her family and God above everything else. So sorry to hear of her passing.

So sorry for your loss. She has fought the fight for a long time. I remember her finding out she had cancer right after my Mother did. Her battle is over. She has won the race.
